BAD LIVERS.

Not only is the Liver the largest but one of the most important organs in the human body, and when deranged it becomes the source of endless suffering. When the Liver is clogged by the inactivity of the kidneys and bowels, it becomes torpid, and fails to filter the bile from the blood, thus producing biliousness and a general impairment of the digestive system. The tongue is coated, the head aches, digestion is imperfect: there is aching of the limbs and back, feelings of fulness, weight and soreness over the stomach and liver; the eye becomes yellow and jaundiced and the complexion muddy, the urine is scanty and highly coloured, and the bowels irregular, constipation and looseness alternating. There is little use treating the liver separately, as it can never be ser right until the kidneys and bowels are made active in removing the waste from the body. It is for this very reason thar Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. have always proved so wonderfully successful in curing the most chronic Liver complaint, biliousness and complicated ailments of the kidneys, liver, and bowels. They reach the liver as no other remedy does.

In order to avoid confusion in feeding the battle lines with cartridges the Ger mans have organised a special system of supplying their first lines from the first reserves, which in their turn are supplied from the depots at the rear,

ENEMY'S DEAL DANGER.

But what is worrying German statos- men and the German Press is the prospect of a metal famine, which is a very real danger for our enemy, and one which is absolutely imminent.

The power of Germany is based on the strength of her resources in steel, copper, and tin. Bismarck has been called the iron Chancellor, and the highest award for bravery in Germany is the Iron Cross. Iron is the symbol of modern Germany, us the harp, the pen, and the brush were the symbols of the Germany of Schiller and Goethe,
